I think Zope site typically look very nice. I've yet to try developing
an application with Zope, but I really have been meaning to do this,
because as far as I understand, the big advantage of Zope is the speed

Bob, have you looked at mkdoc? It's written by a Mkdoc ltd. who are in
Sheffield. www.mkdoc.org. It's written in perl and looks like being a
good CMS; might be worth a look; though again I've not had a really good
look at it.
